8 Mile RockA true deep sea pinnacle located 75 minutes away by boat. 8 Mile Rock can be tough to dive due to strong currents, but the marine and bird life that come here to feed are fantastic. The top of the pinnacle rises to within 14 meters of the surface. This is a dive for Advanced divers who can see soft corals, schools of pelagic fish, Potato Cod, Manta Rays, Whale sharks and Leopard Sharks.

Between Koh Adang & Koh RawiThere is excellent diving and snorkeling between the two islands where the mountains come down to the sea. Huge underwater boulders are home to fish and coral that are rare in this region. A great spot for drift diving. On the east side of Koh Rawi the National Park have set up guide ropes along the reef for snorkelers to pull themselves effortlessly along and view a very diverse reef.

Yong Hua Shipwreck In 1996 a fish factory ship anchored near the western end of Koh Lipe caught fire and sank to the bottom in about 40 meters of water. The shipwreck is now covered in marine growth and inhabited by schools of fish. The shipwreck has become an interesting place to dive but sometimes strong currents make it a difficult dive. The top of the wreck is at about 26 meters deep and the keel sits at 40 meters.

Hin Takorn Dukong Located right in the center of the Marine Park it is home to just about every species of fish imaginable. Granite stones shaped like huge building blocks rise up from the seabed into a structure with a series of tall points at its peak. The base of the pinnacle is up to18 meters deep and is covered in soft and hard corals. Home to at least 6 types of eel and several types of Lionfish and Stonefish, you can see Sailfish and other big predators that come to hunt squid and cuttlefish that hide among the large stones.

Koh Bu TangOne of the larger islands of the group, it has become a favorite place to dive. Many birds and animals live on the island including a troop of crab eating monkeys called "macaques" and a colorful type of bee eating bird. Giant corals and shellfish grow everywhere around this island. Both the North and the South channels are great places to dive although for deep diving the "Giant's Staircase" on the islands West side has huge natural stone steps going down underwater to 50 meters or more. Also found on Koh Bu Tang is Sting Ray City, where in season the blue spotted stingrays are plentiful - this site is also good for snorkelers. Monkey Bay on the noth side is similar to Sting Ray City but much steeper and more dramatic. Expect to see endless rows of tall coralheads and rarely seen species such as the ornamental ghost pipefish and sharks sleeping under the corals; turtles are sometimes see here too. East Side - has the perfect tiny island of Ko Lokoi. Surrounded by about 90 acres of shallow coral, you could do four dives here and not see it all.

Koh Sawang This last tiny island is located on the outer edge of the archipelago. There is not a tree or scrap of vegetation that can grow on this tall smooth stone, but under the water it is full of life. Fantastic coral gardens growing on the rocky outcrops are home to millions of fish.

Koh LangchaBetween Langcha and Adang is a nice coral garden that provides shelter for many creatures including rays and eels. Divers and snorkeler that make the effort to come here are richly rewarded in these near perfect coral gardens.

Adang WaterfallKoh Adang is a large uninhabited island with lots of fresh water. Explore the island and visit one of its waterfalls with fresh water pools at the base.
